5-Minute Green Detox Smoothie for Energy
A quick, refreshing green smoothie packed with vitamins and antioxidants to boost your energy and detoxify your body in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut water
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 3–4 ice cubes
Instructions
- Step 1: Toss your spinach into the blender first. This helps it break down easier and prevents those awkward leafy chunks. Trust me on this one — nobody wants stringy bits in their smoothie.
- Step 2: Add the avocado, frozen banana, and pineapple chunks. The frozen fruit is key here because it makes the smoothie thick and frosty without watering it down with too much ice.
- Step 3: Sprinkle in your chia seeds, then pour in the coconut water and squeeze that fresh lemon juice right on top. If you’re using ginger, grate it finely and add it now. FYI, fresh ginger is way better than powdered — it adds this bright, spicy note that wakes everything up.
- Step 4: Drop in your ice cubes if you like your smoothies super cold and thick (I always do!).
- Step 5: Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until everything is completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. Too thin? Toss in another few frozen pineapple chunks or half a frozen banana.
- Step 6: Pour it into your favorite glass, maybe add a cute straw, and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh and cold. This is breakfast goals right here
